HOMEWORK: Please read the article handout on "Sound in Film" and take notes on key ideas in the text. Answer: What were the positive and negative outcomes of sound films on the movie industry?

- Silent films do not require a lengthy script. Instead, like the narrative outline project (from George Melies' chapter) you are outlining the scenes you will include in your film to tell the story. Use the storyboards to help you plan your script.
B. Research and work on your Metropolis film analysis.
- The film (the full film; Youtube also has various specific scene clips if you look...)
- The Metropolis Case (history/context)
- Metropolis Case, Part 2 (sets/special effects)
- Metropolis Case, Part 3 (music, etc.)
- How Metropolis Changed the Way We See the Future
- The Making of Metropolis (with English subtitles)
C. Read the article on Sound in Movies. This is homework.
